Glossary
IP address / name
When TCP/IP is installed on a computer, an address and a name are assigned to the system. Each address
or name are unique and the address is made up of four numbers, each between 0 and 256 (e.g.
168.8.156.210).
Network Management Proxy
Network Management Proxy is used to control a UPS and connect it to the TCP/IP network.
NMS (Network Management System)
The NMS supervises SNMP devices connected to the TCP-IP Network.
Network Shutdown Module
The Network Shutdown Module is a software module that uses the information transmitted by the Network
Management Card/Proxy to inform computer users on the current status of the electrical power supplied to
the computer.
If the supply of the electrical power from the MGE UPS is at risk, the Network Shutdown Module initiates an
orderly shutdown of the computer under the most secure conditions possible.

SSL (Secure Socket Layer, created by Netscape)
A solution for securing transactions over the internet. SSL is a communication protocol that authenticates the
data exchanged, as well as ensuring its confidentiality and integrity. The protocol uses a recognized
encryption method, the RSA algorithm with a public key (where RSA means Rivest, Shamir and Adleman,
the inventors). An RSA key is the result of operations involving prime numbers. SSL is built into the Internet
browsers on the market. The padlock in the bottom of your browser screen is automatically displayed if the
server sending information uses SSL.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol)
Family of protocols for the transport and network
